I mean, it was in 1944 that for the axis it went from “not going well at all” to “run for your lives”. And I mean, one of the main contributions of the US was A-mostly dealing with Japan, B-supplying half the world (including the soviets). The troops sure were important as hell, but not their main contribution
I mean by 1944 germany was done for. It was done for by 1943, but 1944 it was so obvious, i doubt that person (with historic background!) even looked at the eastern front.
Land lease was important, and people may downplay it a bit more than they should, but war stuff is incomprehensible to me.
germany was done the moment it lost the battle of moscow imo
On grand scale - when they ~~failed~~ were stopped at stalingrad/reaching oilfields, but like it requires a lot of whatifs and blahblah. By 1943 soviets were advancing 500 km a year, and germany industry couldn't suddenly double its outputs, so war direction is fairly easy to see.
Someone drop that paper/book from the U.S. military directly saying the USSR would have won the war without us
yes please
Look I'm a professional i've played a lot of victoria 3 and when the front starts moving like that between great powers it's over, one side has either lost too many men, morale, or materiel to put up an effective defense, much less push back
They were done the moment they didn't finish off the British before invading the USSR
yes, in hindsight they lost in like january of 1942, but because they refused to admit it, it took a few more years to explain it to them.
